Chapter 1014 Gao Hui enters the Hou Mansion and Xiao Qinyan comes to an end
Bianjing City, Gaofu!
A loud roar full of anger suddenly came from the courtyard.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, you unfilial daughter, do you have to make me angry to death before you are willing to do it?"
Gao Hugao observed, pointing with trembling fingers at his daughter standing in front of him, staring angrily, and yelling curses.
Ever since the new emperor ascended the throne and the Empress Dowager sat in charge of politics behind the curtain, the Gao family's life has become increasingly difficult.
Gao Hu's ability to observe this position is actually more due to his status as a relative. He himself has some ability, but he is more of a bastard.
In the past, Concubine Gao Xian was taking care of him, and he was as stable as a mountain in the court. However, in the first year of Qianxing, the situation in the court changed drastically. Concubine Gao could not protect herself, so how could she protect him.
However, he was timid and did not dare to take sides randomly, and he did not have the background and ability to remain neutral like Zhou Chen. Therefore, after the Empress Dowager came to power, although he still maintained the post of observation, he was marginalized by the real power. .
But no matter how marginalized he is, he is still a third-grade official, and the Gaofu family is also a famous family in Tokyo, and he also has his own arrogance.
But today, he was really mad at his daughter. His daughter, Gao Hu, actually wanted to be a concubine. Isn't this another slap in the face?
Although the person Gao Hui wanted to marry had a higher status than him, his daughter was his legitimate daughter and he was also a famous person. He couldn't accept having his daughter as someone's concubine, let alone the other person's legal wife. A woman who once lived in lowly status.
"I think I have really spoiled you over the years. You are not young anymore, but you are still so willful. Do you really want to piss me off to death?"
Two years have passed, and Gao Hui's face has not changed much. At this time, she looks stubborn and determined. Even if she is scolded by her father, she is not afraid.
"Dad, I really like him, not because he is Zhongyonghou or because he is a high official in the court. I already fell in love with him as early as three years ago, so I want to marry him, even if it is I am willing to be his concubine."
Gao Hu angrily cursed: "Shut up, you still have the nerve to say, what's wrong with Marquis Zhongyong? If you become his concubine, you are demeaning yourself and our Gao family. My Gao family's daughter will be given to others." As a concubine, how can your father and I go out to meet people in the future? I will never agree."
He admitted that Zhou Chen was very powerful and remarkable, but Gao Hui was his dearest daughter, whom he had held in his hands since childhood. He did not want his daughter to be a concubine, not only for the sake of the Gao family and his own face, but also for the sake of the Gao family and himself. Think about your daughter.
A concubine, what a concubine is, people like them from the high-end compound know best, so he doesn't want his daughter to mistreat him.
"Marquis Zhongyong is not that kind of person. Lady Song in his palace has a worse background than me, but Marquis Zhongyong is still very kind to her. There is also Sister Zhao, who is also from a poor background, but Marquis Zhongyong is still willing to marry her. , he treated her very well, which shows that Marquis Zhongyong is a man who values ​​love and justice, and even if I marry her as a concubine, he will definitely treat me well."
Gao Hui was full of confidence in Zhou Chen, because Zhao Pan'er had already talked to her that although she was a concubine, she could enjoy the treatment of a wife in the mansion.
She can marry the person she likes and has the promise of the eldest lady in the family, so she is so determined.
Gao Hu yelled: "Fart, naive, you are really stupid. How could I have a daughter as stupid as you?"
"I'm not stupid."
Gao Hui jumped on her feet and retorted loudly.
"I know what dad means, but Marquis Zhongyong is much better than those dandy yamen in various prefectures in Tokyo, and isn't dad still clear about his daughter's current situation? If I could marry someone better, why would I still be waiting for marriage now?
In the boudoir?"
Gao Hu's face suddenly became very ugly, and he felt even more regretful.
Although their mansion is not as high as before, it is still a high-profile compound in Tokyo, but the engagement that year became a stain on Gao Hui.
At first, he and Concubine Gao made the decision and made an engagement between Ouyang Xu and Gao Hui. However, Ouyang Xu's actions later made Gao Hu shameless and wanted to break off the engagement. However, before the token could be retrieved, something unexpected happened to Ouyang Xu.
Originally, everyone in the capital knew about Ouyang Xu and Gao Hui's marriage, although after Ouyang Xu's death, the Gao family repeatedly emphasized that they had terminated the engagement.
But people's words are terrible, and others don't care so much. All kinds of rumors came out, and even more exaggerated rumors spread about Gao Huikefu.
This was good, Gao Hui had already been engaged once, and there were rumors about Ke Fu, so it was difficult to find a well-matched marriage, and the Gao family looked down on people from small families, which led to the three of them.
Years have passed, and Gao Hui, who has reached her twenties, still has not gotten married yet.
Gao Hui was not in a hurry before, but today he suddenly said that he would marry Zhou Chen as his concubine, which really confused Gao Hu.
"You didn't insist on marrying Ouyang Xu in the first place, but in the end, he was just a loser who couldn't get on the stage."
"Dad, didn't you also hope that I could marry Marquis Zhongyong before?"
"Can it be the same? At that time, I wanted you to marry me and be my wife. Now, you want to marry me and be my concubine. Is it the same thing?"
"I don't care. Anyway, I will only marry Zhou Chen and not anyone else. If you don't agree, I will never marry again."
"You, you, you really want to piss me off to death."
Gao Hu was so angry that he stretched out his hand to hit him, but in the end he couldn't do it. He could only hold his chest and sulked because of the irony.
"It's all my fault, blame me for getting you so willful, ugh."
Gao Hui's eyes turned red when her father was so disappointed, and she became a little soft-hearted.
"Dad, I really like Zhongyong Hou. He once saved me. When I saw him again, I fell in love with him and I can no longer look down on other men, so I am willing to be his concubine.
, I believe he will not let me down."
Gao Hu snorted: "Men are the least trustworthy."
Good guy, in order to advise his daughter, he even scolded himself.
Gao Hui added: "Sister Zhao said that if I am willing to marry into the Hou Mansion as a concubine, Marquis Zhongyong will help the eldest brother and the second brother to get into the Sansi Yamen as officials, whether they are front officials or guards."
Gao Hu's cold expression suddenly froze, and everyone fell silent.
In addition to Gao Hui, his most beloved legitimate daughter, he also had sons and other daughters, because in addition to his eldest wife, he also had several concubines.
In the past, with the protection of the imperial concubine, he had a prosperous official career. The eldest son was not very capable, but he relied on his connections to become an official in Tokyo and did well.
However, with the change of government and opposition, the Gao family is weak, and life is not easy for the eldest son of the Gao family. As for the second son of the Gao family, who is preparing to become an official, he cannot find a suitable opportunity now.
The three divisions are all forbidden troops. It is not an easy task to enter the Sansi Yamen as an official. The Gao family is not a noble family. If they find a way, for his face, they can enter, but
It's too difficult to do well.
But if Zhou Chen is there to protect him, it will be different. Zhou Chen is now one of the most prestigious and prestigious people among the nobles. He is also the commander of the front office of the palace, and he has also served as a bodyguard and a horse army before.
As the commander-in-chief of the department, Zhou Chen has absolute say in these two yamen.
If Zhou Chen is really willing to take care of his two sons, not to mention running sideways in these two yamen, at least they will be able to go smoothly and no one will dare to bully them.
So Gao Hu, who had been strongly opposed just now and wanted to slap his daughter, became particularly complicated.
Which is more important, the daughter and face, or the two sons and the future of the Gao family?
In the third year of Tiansheng, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
Today, the Zhongyong Hou Mansion ushered in another important day. Zhongyong Hou Zhou Chen, who is already thirty this year, once again held a concubine for a happy occasion.
Different from taking Song Yinzhang as his concubine before, the momentum and standard this time are much greater. In any case, Gao Hui is also the legitimate daughter of the Gao family. Her status and status are not comparable to that of Song Yinzhang. At least the dowry returned by the Gao family is
It's amazing, but Song Yinzhang's original dowry was prepared for her by Zhao Pan'er and her daughters.
Gao Hui, the legitimate daughter of the Gao family, became the concubine of Zhongyong Hou Zhou Chen. This incident caused a great shock in Tokyo.
The Gao family has been somewhat weak in the past two years, but it is still a famous family in Tokyo. Gao Hui's reputation is somewhat criticized, but she is still a noble girl and is still very famous in the circle.
But the fact that such a noble girl was willing to become a concubine, even if this person was the famous Zhongyong Hou, still shocked the attention of countless people.
In the eyes of many people, Zhou Chen is simply a deviant and unconventional person.
He can marry a former lowly businesswoman as his wife, take a former prostitute as a concubine, and he can also take a noble girl as a concubine. Looking at the entire city of Tokyo, this kind of behavior is not in line with the mainstream, so Zhou Chen has always been criticized.
Others discuss and criticize.
Zhao Pan'er personally persuaded Gao Hui, and she had already promised many conditions before she got married.
For example, the courtyard where Gao Hui lives has been renovated and has become a courtyard second only to Zhao Paner's residence. The decorations in the courtyard are also full of luxury.
In addition, there are also servants in the courtyard, maids, mamas, young men, etc., all of whom are not much inferior to Zhao Pan'er.
Therefore, Gao Hui was nominally Zhou Chen's concubine, but in fact, the treatment and standards she enjoyed were not much worse than those of Zhao Pan'er, and much better than those of Song Yinzhang.
Zhao Pan'er had already told Song Yinzhang about this matter, and learned that it was for the reputation of Lord Marquis. Of course Song Yinzhang would not be dissatisfied, but she was dissatisfied with Gao Hui, who had already caused such a big fight before she got married.
, and have no favorable impression.
Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes. This is the same for men and women. Even the flash of swords and shadows between women is more intense than the confrontation between men.
Although she was a concubine, Gao Hui married into a wealthy family.
In the new house, Zhou Chen lifted Gao Hui's hijab, revealing Gao Hui's smiling voice. He couldn't help but reached out and caressed her cheek.
"Official!"
Zhou Chen smiled slightly, took her hand, and drank Hexin wine together.
"I have long discovered that you were trying to do something wrong with me, and now you finally got what you wanted, right?"
